As the thread says..
I know ext3 has journaling but any other benefit/performance gain?

As the title states, my SD currently runs an EXT4 partition, however after reading around on these forums not all roms support EXT4 yet and most want EXT3 in order to work properly.. Upgrading EXT is easy im using RA Recovery Image, however how do you go from an EXT4 back to an EXT3?
I would think you'd have to repartition the card, well thats how I went about it.
It's tricky. usually, once you upgrade to ext4 you can't go back to ext3 without repartitioning.. but there's a work around...
you can turn off the ext4 "features" from a ext4 partition and mount it as ext3....
"mount -t ext4 /dev/yourpartition /mnt"
that would be the basic command. Needs to be rewritten for your particular situation.
You're better off just repartitioning lol.
Is it possible to have our data sectors written as ext3 or ext4. I remember from my g1 days that they are supposed to be faster then ext2 never heard a diffenate on that though.... Personal experience is ext3 is fastest but thats just experience and imo, nothing to prove that...sorry if this had been asked I searched and dididn't come up with anything..
A tutorial on how to create a swap partition is also interesting.
Sorry for my english...
Ext2 is used because the way the data is accessed under ext3 and ext4 reduces the life of an SSD. Ext3 and Ext4 would be fine if you used HDDs, but we don't have a slot that big on our HD2s.
Thanks for the response, but I think some of us are willing to cook a sd card if it improves performance.

how de we create ext4 partition?
I know this has been asked a lot of times on this forum but i really can't understand the advantages of having an ext4,ext3 or ext2 file system over the standard rfs. Does this lead to faster r/w times? Also i googled this and found some articles explaining the advantages of using the ext4 file system on dual-core smartphones.
I'm a newbie to Android and don't really understand how it would help on the SG3.
Also needed to know about the differences in the variations of the ext4 and ext2 file systems such as stl6 ext4, stl7 ext4, stl8 ext2.
I am really confused and expecting a reply from someone. Please help.

Is Is Ext3 or Ext4 Partition for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1-Ultimate rom for galaxy ace s5830?
This is the post where they have mentioned it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775257
Do we need Ext3 or Ext4 Partition for S3-Evolution-Beta3 ultimate only or we need it for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1 as well. Just to be sure in this case. Is it compulsory for S3-Evolution-Beta3.1 or we can do the normal wipe data and partition and install it from zip.
